This is a [now page](https://nownownow.com/about): what I'm focused on at this point. If it looks stale, ask me at [sam@samye.li](mailto:sam@samye.li).

## Building

- **[lodos.md](https://samye.li/lodos/)**, full time. The company that runs itself is in closed beta, with live validation alongside design partners and 1,200+ people on the waitlist.
- **[gazla.co](https://gazla.co)** is paused while I build lodos.md. The community of 50,000+ people is still there.

## On the side

- **NFS World in the browser**: a 2010 Windows game lifted to WebAssembly and WebGPU. I wrote about [taking it from 11 fps to 80](https://samye.li/blog/nfs-world-in-the-browser-performance/).
- **Need for Speed Underground 2 in the browser**: contributing to the [browser port](https://github.com/th0mk/nfsu2-web) ([nfsu2.xyz](https://nfsu2.xyz)) and keeping an eye on the repository; the Turkish translation, all 3,918 of the game's texts, is mine.

## Writing

- This site launched in November 2026, in English and [Turkish](https://samye.li/tr/). I write about software architecture, security and AI on the [blog](https://samye.li/blog/).

## Where

- Istanbul, Türkiye.
